Suspect brings his children to murder-suicide in Brooklyn

A 39-year-old man killed himself after wounding his ex-girlfriend and fatally shooting her current boyfriend.

The ex-boyfriend showed up to hand-off his two children — ages 6 and 11-years-old — to their mother.

Just after 5pm, the 33-year-old mother was waiting in her car in East Flatbush when she was shot in the torso. The 44-year-old boyfriend was also shot in the head. He was later pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital, ABC7 New York reports.

The suspect then walked to the car where his two children were waiting before fatally shooting himself in the head. The children went unharmed and their mother is currently recovering in Kings County Hospital.

The New York Police Department said that there were no prior records of domestic violence incidents between the former longtime couple, according to ABC.

None of the victims have been identified by authorities.
